The Ford Announces Summer Season in Hollywood With Mac DeMarco, Lucinda Williams, Jorge Drexler, Darren Criss and More
variety.comChris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The LA Phil has announced the full summer season for Hollywood Bowl’s sister venue across the gorge, the Ford, with a typically eclectic and cross-cultural lineup that includes Mac DeMarco, Lucinda Williams, Jorge Drexler, the Milk Carton Kids, Darren Criss, Arooj Aftab, Meredith Monk, José James, a kids’ show by the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, a dance project from Serpentwithfeet and many more attractions.
The smaller-sized amphitheater is one of the most prized venues for musicians to play in Los Angeles, although the Phil’s emphasis in its four months of annual shows there is far less on commercial acts than in maintaining intriguing blend of all possible arts, with jazz, Americana and Latin and global music definitely getting a leg up on pop in the programming.
Ticket packages for three or more programs went on sale today, here. Individual concert tickets will go on sale May 9. The full Ford lineup can be found here.
The Ford gets a slightly later start in its 15-week season than does the Bowl, with DeMarco set to be the opening night attraction July 14.
